From Mike Lohre: Let's put our three best questions here

Students, by the end of the lab today, we are shooting to have created 20 questions for our interview. Now let's share the best of this brainstorming. Please post your three best questions in the Comments section of this post, so that other students in the class can use these questions as needed. Please pay attention to what has been posted so you are not repeating the same questions.
